BUG suddenly technical display intersection lines are too thick

i dont know which version changed it but suddenly my intersection lines in technical display print too thick!


i cant express how furious i am yet again that my pdfs look always different…

Hi Ivan -

You didn’t mention if this is a viewport or the resulting PDF.
Without the SystemInfo, a .3dm file and modified display modes this is impossible to troubleshoot.

its the resulting pdf. i tried playing with technical line type settings. no effect.

Hi Ivan -

Thanks.
When I print that file, I get the following PDF:

I take it that’s not what you are seeing?

in mine intersection lines are way thicker

i cant print my pdfs and deadline is tomorrow :frowning:

Hi Juan,

We haven’t been able to repeat with your example.

Can you ensure you are on the latest and run the Reset command?

have run reset and installed latest update. its the same

Please run SystemInfo in the command line and post the result

Hi Ivan -

Print settings are not saved in the 3dm file and so it’s possible there is some combination of settings that you are using that we haven’t tested.
Can you expand all sections in the print dialog and post screen shots of all settings?
-wim

this seem to have no effect now. it used to have… in raster it does in vector it does not. there is something very screwed in the code.


when i increase hidden line width it actually gets thinner, others have no effect


i have to say i have never seen something so simple so unreliable. are we battling with lines widths 17months from the release???

Please send us the entire file privately and your complete system info. In the comments put a link to this thread.

Hi Ivan -

As you point out in that answer, you have already posted that one. Which is why I asked about something completely different and which is not something that travels along a 3md file nor the system info. Oh well…

Hello, this is still not working.

I can play with thse line width which have effect in layout but are not printed in vector pdf. It used to work.

please pay attention to this. its very crucial. @mcneel

Hi Juan, Do you have Apply Display Mode Scaling checked? The Scale By can be used to bump the thickness a bit if need be.

Linetypes can be units other than pixel for more exact control as well.

yes

no, i dont need everything to be bumped up, i need these factors

not to work only in layout but also in PDF output.

There is something very strange and obviously so wrong:
